I bet they don't allow in game voice chat like Call of Duty (based on not being able to talk in Hearthstone). Can you imagine 8 year olds chatting shit on their headsets?

They do allow voice chat actually. They're adding voice features to Battle.net even.
Anyway, I've been playing Overwatch since late last year, and it does do something different. It's more like old TF2/TFC than anything else.
Also, the lead dev is Jeff Kaplan, who did a lot with WoW, but used to be an EQ raider:

Stumbled across this in an /r/WoW thread and thought it was such a hilarious contrast to the cool and collected Jeff we see today. For those who aren't aware, "Tigole" is Jeff's username from when he used to lead a guild in the days of Everquest. He would often post on his guild's website regarding EQ raids and encounters, as such:

"Whoever came up with this sheer fisting of an encounter can go fuck themselves. Do me a favor so I don't waste my guild's time on this kind of jackass shit-fest again, send me an email at tigole@legacyofsteel.net when you decide to A) Implement an encounter that wasn't designed by a retarded chimp chained to a cubicle A.)Get a Quality Assuarance Department C) Actually beta test the fucking thing and D) Patch it live. And please for god's sake -- do it in the order I laid out for you. Don't worry, I won't charge you a consulting fee on that one. And for good luck you might as well E) Pull your heads out of your asses. While you're at it rename the game to BetaQuest since you've used up you're alotted false advertising karma on the Bazaar and user interface scam of '01.Fix the Emperor encounter. Fix Seru. Rethink your time-sink bullshit. Fix all the buggy motherfucking ring encounters (I suggest you let whoever made the Burrower one do this since that dude apparently laid off the crack the rest of you were smoking). Fix the VT key quest. Fix VT (just guessing it's fucked up considering your track record). Don't have the resources to fix this stuff? Move the ENTIRE Planes of Power team over to fixing Shadows of Luclin AND DO IT NOW. If you don't fix Luclin, you jackassess will be the only ones playing the Planes of Power."

Just goes to show that Jeff knows the taste of salt all too well.
